Comparable to the beginning of the novel McEwan immediately dives into the plot with the objective being to captivating the reader, he starts the novel with the sentence “The beginning is simple to mark”, and by using the word ‘beginning’ it leaves the reader to suggest that an important event is going to take place. This sentence is used to create suspense that leads the reader to carry on out of curiosity and uncertainty, the short length of the sentence conveys a bluntness which leaves more emotional impact. Ironically the narrator, who is also the protagonist: Joe, claims the beginning of the story to be ‘simple’ yet his frequent digression and evading of the topic makes it seem far from. This is another device McEwan uses, Joe's tendencies to have his thoughts diverted elsewhere lengthens the narrative, essentially building up tension for the readers. McEwan uses the narrator’s euphemistic persona to build tension demonstrated through the way he withholds vital information with the use of euphemisms, “saw the danger”, “running towards it”, the narrator intentionally omits what the situation is by identifying it as “the danger” or “it”.
In this chapter we can gather that Rahim is a wise, old fashioned man; which greatly contrasts almost all of Amir’s previous chapters. By doing this, Hosseini adds a change in scenery not only for the reader but for the characters too, we see a completely different side to Amir and Hassan. As it is told in the past and also referring to the past; we see constant references to Amir’s and Hassan’s previous relationships. For example when Hassan is asking Rahim about Amir and he asks numerous questions; but one in particular was “were you happy?” we can relate this completely back to when they were children because that was Hassan’s motif; to keep Amir happy. When they were younger Hassan always used to say “for you a thousand times over” to show his loyalty and faithfulness to Amir.
When you use your “heart” you are using what you feel and not what you think. You don’t go off thoughts, you go off instinct. 4. List the texts that you are using, provide the title and author. Two works of literature that prove this are… “A thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini and “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens.

The selection of words is what gives the story life. Have you ever read a book and forgot what you even read when you finally finish? Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is the total opposite. The exploration of Henry’s changing relationship with his family and with Keiko will keep most readers turning pages. Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart.
All of these phrases illustrate Nick being unsure, which makes him a non omniscient narrator. Nick knows nothing more than we do in this novel, if not less. We cannot take what Nick says to be literal due to his indecrepancies as a narrator. He is not credible and since there are moments in the novel where Nick cannot be seen as credible, it makes the whole novel questionable because if he lies and alters his perception at certain moment, what’s to say he’s not that way all along. Nick sees Gatsby as a wonderful man who can do no wrong in his eyes.
As with all of Pride and Prejudice the story is told by an omniscient narrator in the third person. This helps create perspectives from all the different characters, which in this chapter is mainly Elizabeth and Mr Collins. As well as using the third person to help aid the telling of chapter 19, as with most of the novel, the story of Elizabeth’s rejection of Mr Collins is told through the dialogue between characters “ I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than decline them”. This doesn’t just allow the reader to gain an incite into the story but also helps them to draw their own conclusions about the characters. For instance, Mr Collins long, pompous speeches help the reader to realise his character within the novel and how he is a person who is full of pride in himself (which is one of the themes of the novel).
So the editing is essential in cutting down scene and keeping each sequence condensed. The editing include montages and past time events that help the audience to understand the motives of the story. Transition are usually used when time has passed within a film, in this case in Just A Nice Guy (2007) the black screen with the white text that says ‘part one to part three’ . This helps to break each sections according to what that scene will be all about which also communicate to the audience the progression of the story. Also the voice over is organised whenever the character Nick is left alone to his thoughts for instance in the opening begins with him waking and going to and into school, and after he gets an advice from one of his peers showing that he is thinking and pondering.
Debbie Bernard Venegas The story is told in third person point of view, even if dialogues are present in the text, the narrator is omniscient, he knows everything about the characters, the situations they go through and the events of the story; additionally, he allows the reader know the character’s thoughts; on the other hand, a particular characteristic of Hemingway is that he does not give away all the information he has. The reader is aware that the narrator knows everything, but the narrator omits some information in order to keep the reader interested and to force the reader’s mind to work trying to understand and figure out what has not been told. Hemingway uses very simple language, common words. In some sentences, African words such as_ Bwana and _Shauri appear in a pair of sentences on the text and the Asian word Memsahib is used by Wilson to refer to Margot during the whole text. Hemingway describes every situation perfectly, for instance, the scene with the lion he even describes what the lion is feeling, how is he acting and what he is planning to do in order to attack the men.
The narrator begins referring to himself as ‘Stephen Wheatley’, showing his innate struggle for identity, as he is no longer referring to himself as ‘I’ or ‘me but in the third person such as ‘him’ or ‘he’. Through doing this, the narrator is deliberately separating himself from the younger Stephen perhaps suggesting that he is no longer that ‘unsatisfactory’ young child he reminisces upon. The use of the dual narrative here is already shaping the structure of the novel as well as the reader’s interpretation of it as he is implying to the reader that he isn’t Stephen Wheatley, and that what he sees is a completely different person, Stefan Weitzler. In chapter 5, Stephen finds himself in a situation that is likely to be the most frightening he has faced in his life, not only does he come close to being hit by a train but he also comes close to being discovered by Keith’s mother. This changes the narrative voice of the novel as he expresses his terror.
